Re: The test is inaccurate...

Robb - You are the resident M-Labs expert... Do you know how many TCP connections that the M-Labs tool uses?

Also - do you have any idea how the test decides to use one test or the other (M-Labs or Ookla)?

The FCC web site says it picks it at random. But when the test ends, you can then run the other test.

»www.broadband.gov/qualitytest/about/
Users will be assigned to one of the two chosen testing tools: Ookla or M-Lab, or they can directly choose one of these tools at the links at the bottom of this page.
But you can pick which one you want from the above link or use the links I found below:

Ookla:
»www.broadband.gov/qualitytest/?sCode=O

M-Lab:
»www.broadband.gov/qualitytest/?sCode=M

Thanks!

From the office the Ookla test returns: 35M/3M
and M-Lab: 21M/4M
